[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]..and GD is a big deal.  I was really worried about it (had a first tri test for it because  I am heavier) and wish people took it seriously. It can have lasting issues for mom and baby, and a doctor should be your provider to ensure everything is going well with the GD. [/quote]

They don't risk out every GD patient from what I've heard, though. They do three "strikes" - so GD plus history of depression plus expecting twins, for example (twins is probably a bad example - does Wisdom do twin births?), will get you risked out.[/quote]

Wow.  Am I the only one who thinks this sounds somewhat punitive and offensive?[/quote]

The practice or what I wrote? Midwives tend not to take high risk patients. I was risked out by Birthcare at 30 weeks (for very specious reasons). The reasoning still pisses me off, but if you're a better candidate for birth with an OB, they're better off transferring your care. [/quote]

Oh no, not what you wrote.  I guess the "three strikes" concept and the fact that one could get a strike for things like controlled GD or a history of depression were what got to me.  On some level I feel like when you journey through a pregnancy with a provider, midwife or otherwise, they should stick with you and support you through challenges, not boot you off elsewhere.  I totally understand there are some truly high risk things that would require a referral but these other, "soft" concerns seem like things a dedicated provider could deal with.  [/quote]
